Rwandans marked on Monday the 20th anniversary of a devastating ge**cide that resulted in the deaths of nearly 1 million people.

For three months, starting on April 6, 1994, extremist Hutus targeted Rwanda's mi**rity Tutsi population and moderate Hutus (https://www.wcl.american.edu/humright/center/rwanda/background.cfm), killing them in machete and gunfire attacks. Approximately 150,000 to 250,000 women were also raped, according to the United Nations (https://www.un.org/en/preventge**cide/rwanda/education/rwandage**cide.shtml). The killings continued until July 4, 1994, when the Rwandan Patriotic Front took military control of Rwanda
